Organised by RX Japan GK and the Japan Jewellery Association, IJT is a B2B jewellery trade show where wholesalers and manufacturers of diamond, gemstone, pearl, gold and platinum jewellery meet retailers and buyers from Japan and other Asian markets. The 38th edition runs from 10:00 to 18:00, closing at 17:00 on the final day.

Overview IJT

The organiser presents IJT as Japan's largest international jewellery trade show. It is a place where buyers can see, compare and purchase products, from fine and light jewellery to loose stones and materials for handmade work.

The official exhibit profile covers five broad groups:

• Jewellery: diamond, platinum, gold, silver, pearl, bridal, men's, brand, designer and costume jewellery
• Gemstones: diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, tanzanites, opals, paraiba tourmalines and more

• Jewellery-related products: clasps, parts, tools and machinery, showcases and displays, shop design, jewellery boxes, customer management systems, security and surveillance, certification and consulting

IJT is one of three jewellery shows RX Japan runs each year. The others are IJT Autumn (Pacifico Yokohama, 28 to 30 October 2026) and International Jewellery Kobe (Kobe International Exhibition Hall, 20 to 22 May 2027).

What Is International Jewellery Tokyo

International Jewellery Tokyo, commonly known as IJT, is a major B2B jewellery trade show held in Japan. The 38th edition will take place from 27–29 January 2027 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba. The event brings jewellery manufacturers, wholesalers, suppliers and professional buyers together in one place to source products, discover new suppliers and discuss business opportunities.

IJT is particularly relevant for retailers, department stores, wholesalers, designers, online sellers and other jewellery-industry professionals. Buyers from Japan and other Asian markets attend the show to compare collections, introduce new brands and build supplier relationships. Unlike a consumer jewellery fair, IJT is designed around trade purchasing, sourcing and business negotiations.

Who Should Attend IJT 2027

The show is built for trade buyers. The organiser's visitor profile lists:

• Jewellery retailers, department stores, mass retailers, apparel boutiques, specialty stores and online or mail-order sellers
• Social buyers
• Wholesalers and manufacturers
• Designers and craftspeople
• Media
• Other jewellery-related businesses

The organiser says buyers from Japan, China and other Asian countries attend, and that new entrants and handmade artists are welcome.

Admission rules matter here. The show is for purchasing and business negotiation. Consumers buying for personal use are not admitted. Visitors need to register and bring a business card. Managers and above can use a separate VIP registration, which the organiser says includes VIP lounge access and priority entry.

What Exhibitors Can Expect at IJT 2027

Audience. The 2026 edition (14 to 17 January 2026) recorded 19,826 visitors over four days, excluding exhibitors and press. The 2027 edition is scheduled for three days, so plan your meeting calendar around a shorter window.

Live selling. The organiser says live sales are possible in the hall and highlights demand from social-media sellers. If you plan to stream from your stand, treat power, connectivity and lighting as part of the stand brief.

Jewellery-specific stand needs.

• Lighting is the biggest one. Stones and metal look different under different light, so lighting design affects how buyers judge your product.
• Secure showcases and lockable storage.
• Seating for private negotiations.

Venue-specific technical rules aren't public, so confirm them through the organiser's exhibitor materials.

Organiser support. RX Japan says the Exhibitor Hub opens roughly four months before the show. Exhibitors register company, product and booth information there. The organiser also lists help with interpreter requests, luggage storage and booth-building ideas. Exhibitor materials (brochure, cost plan, floor plan) are available through the official exhibiting enquiry form.

Exhibiting at IJT 2027?

Companies exhibiting at IJT need more than an attractive booth. The stand has to show product under the right light, keep buyers moving, give you somewhere private to negotiate, and be built within the organiser's schedule and rules.

Booth Creators is a stand design and build company that has worked on exhibitions since 2012. For IJT exhibitors, the practical value is one team handling the concept, the build and the on-site installation, so you aren't coordinating separate suppliers in a country you may not work in regularly.

Why Choose Booth Creators for Your IJT 2027 Stand

Booth Creators can support an IJT stand from brief to teardown:

• Concept development and 3D stand design
• Custom fabrication and branding graphics
• Lighting design and electrical coordination
• Installation and dismantling, with project management and on-site venue supervision

Our work includes floor-plan approvals, move-in deadlines, structural safety checks and lighting grids for luxury-goods shows, and we build to the host venue's guidelines and the organiser's safety codes. For the full service scope, see our page on custom exhibition stand design, fabrication and installation management.

Relevant Exhibition Experience

Booth Creators has delivered custom trade-show stands globally since 2012, with 13+ years of exhibition industry experience and 1,200+ booth projects delivered for international brands. Our experience includes managing layout approvals, strict move-in schedules, structural requirements and detailed lighting plans for premium and luxury-focused exhibitions. This is especially relevant for jewellery brands, where presentation, lighting, security and finish quality can directly affect how products are viewed by buyers. Our exhibition stand portfolio.

What Exhibitors Should Finalize Before IJT 2027

Whichever stand builder you use, settle these early:

• Space and open sides. Confirm your booth dimensions and open sides from the organiser's floor plan.
• Product display. Decide what sits in locked showcases, what is open for handling, and how you'll store stock overnight.
• Lighting. Specify how you want stones, pearls and metals presented, and whether you need spot lighting at counters.
• Meeting area. Size it for private buyer negotiations, not just product viewing.
• Live selling. If you will stream, plan camera positions, power and connectivity.
• Language and branding. Prepare artwork and signage that works for Japanese and international buyers, and book interpretation early if needed.
• Electrical needs. Submit power requirements through the organiser's process.
• Organiser deadlines. Watch the Exhibitor Hub (opens around four months pre-show) and the exhibitor manual.
• Installation and dismantling schedule. Setup dates for IJT 2027 have not been published. Confirm them with RX Japan before fixing build and freight dates.
